I think we can expect the GC and PC versions to have poorer quality video, since they are now planning to fit the GC version onto 2 mini-DVDs while spreading the PS2 and Xbox versions over 2 full-size DVDs. Therefore, the PC version of the game is not likely to be downsized very much at all, since 700MB x 6 = ~4.2GB. So the game probably uses at least 4.5GB of disk space since the GC mini-DVD can store 1.5GB of data.

Also, while dual-layer video DVD-9 format is generally RSDL (reverse-spiral dual-layer), dual-layer PS2 and Xbox DVDs are not. Then again, GC owners like myself are accustomed to shit quality video since so many ports to GC feature badly recompressed video to fit onto 1 mini-DVD.īy the way, the PS2 and Xbox dual-layer DVD formats store about ~8GB of data, since a great deal of overhead is required to accomodate the encryption of the data on their DVDs.
